What did you learn today TIL

[_priapism]

Is this better or worse than the cheese runs experienced by msslave?

The important question that must always be answered first, before proceeding.

Careful with those gummy bears.  If you eat a bag, you’ll have a nice shit about 12 hours later, but it’s not lethal.  I guess it depends on the individual.

What Gummy Bears Have in Common with Laxatives

Hmmm, I never knew this.   I must be immune.   I love them and will eat a lot during a long car ride.  They don't affect me. 

There us only one way that I'll eat gummi bears.

The Wisconsin way.

Soaked in vodka (or your choice of alcohol).

Drunken bears.

I thought the Wisconsin way is covered in cheese...

That frogs do not drink water.

[staci]

That it takes the whole day for msslave to get "cheesed" in Wisc.

[msslave]

That it takes the whole day for msslave to get "cheesed" in Wisc.

That may be... but ohh the fun on the way.

Sure, rub it in....

What a crappy way to go

What a shitty way to die....

I learned scratching an itch witch a screw driver is a pretty bad idea. It might feel awesome for about a minute, but having your stupid blonde hair covered in blood isn't worth it.

Speaking of pitching and scratching.  My legs are currently covered in mosquito bites.  I'm thinking of using a trick I learned from the army.

You will need a knife and a small bottle of bleach.

Step one: get into a shower or go outside.

Step two: using knife scratch all bites until bleeding

Step three: pour bleach over bleeding bites

Step four: grit teeth and grunt the pain away

Make a paste of sandalwood and turmeric, say 70:30. Apply all over the body.
It'll heal the skin, reduce the itch, and to top it all will leave you smelling good. Better than aloevera.

Got a bug bite of some sort behind my ear right on that bone back there a couple months ago.  It took forever for the swelling to subside, but then it swelled up again.  I’ve been touching it annoyed for weeks feeling if it’s sore, and then yesterday it felt painful so I pinched it while looking in the bathroom mirror.  Well pink puss shot sideways and hit a picture of a flower I have on the wall in there.  There was a bit of clean up, both my head and the picture.  Really wish my Peruvian would have told me it looked infected, she had looked a couple times.  I can’t see back there.

Anyway, this is the point where you all thank me for sharing.

When rescuers arrived the committee members told them they were just going through the motions.

I'll get my coat............

You're right, I've never heard of this. Then again, my knowledge of 12th century German history is a bit sketchy.

And now, I know!

[_priapism]

[MissBarbara]

Oh, it's worse than that: I've never heard of the Duchy of Thuringia.

Then again, that entity ceased to exist in 1440.

But a quick google search reveals that the state of Thuringia still exists within modern Germany, and it's capital is still Erfurt.

And, for a little window into how my brain works, I can think about the history of medieval Germany and about getting it on with a pretty Irish lass in an airplane bathroom at the exact same time...

I had to look up the church where the shit storm happened.  

Erfurt has also been ruled by Sweden, Prussia, Napoleon, the German Empire, the Nazis, and post-World War II Soviet occupying forces, and it was part of the German Democratic Republic (East Germany). All of these regimes used Petersberg Citadel and had an influence on its development. The baroque fortress was in military use until 1963. Since German reunification in 1990, the citadel has undergone significant restoration and it is now open to the public as a historic site. Its maze of underground passageways are also open to visitors and the fortress bakery (1832) is again in working order.



The fortress is also known by its French name, Citadelle Petersberg, as French troops were stationed there from 1806 to 1814, when Erfurt was under Napoleonic occupation. Napoleon visited Erfurt several times and the citadel was further developed during his rule, although parts of it were damaged in a battle in 1813.

The citadel was built on the site of a medieval Benedictine Monastery and the earliest parts of the complex date from the 12th century.

The former lower barracks (German:Untere Kaserne) building is now used to house and administer archives of the Stasi Records Agency.  

Speaking of shit, The Stasi Records Agency (Stasi-Unterlagen-Behörde) is the organisation that administers the archives of Ministry of State Security (Stasi) of the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany). It is a government agency of the Federal Republic of Germany.
